Bottle drive in Middletown to help local Cub Scouts

MIDDLETOWN >> Local Cub Scout Pack 43 is having its semi-annual bottle drive at the Third Congregational Church on Miner Street (just west of the Westfield Fire Department) off East Street in Middletown.

The bottle drive is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 5, and the event runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Proceeds from the bottle drive will help the local Cub Scouts pay for a spring High Adventure trip. Scouts will unload your cans and bottles from your vehicle.

Pack 43 celebrates more than 50 years of serving the Westfield section of Middletown. It includes boys from first through fifth grades and the pack serves Spencer, Lawrence and Moody Elementary schools. The pack puts a focus on outdoor adventure, respect for the environment, community service and character development.
